Notas del editor
- Cholesterol from the diet undergoes conversion to 7 dehydrocholesterol. As it circulates through the bloodstream and is taken up by cells such as skin cells, it is converted to cholecalciferol by UV exposure. Once it is converted and it enters the bloodstream, it is converted to 25-hydroxyvitamin D by the liver. It then goes to the kidneys and is finally converted to 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D (active form). It can also be converted to the active form by many other organs in the body.
- Solar ultraviolet radiation (UV-B-radiation) has both beneficial and harmful effects on human health. It is the most important environmental risk factor for the development of non-melanoma skin cancer, such as basal and squamous cell carcinomas. On the other hand, the human body's requirements of vitamin D are mainly achieved by UV-B-induced photosynthesis in the skin. The use of sunscreens for protection against the sun completely blocks photosynthesis of vitamin D and reduces circulating vitamin D metabolites.
- There is an link between vitamin D deficiency and living at higher latitudes, especially in areas 37° or more from the equator with increased risk for many chronic diseases. Vitamin D synthesis and serum vitamin D levels are negatively correlated with latitude and positively correlated with sunlight.
- The vitamin D receptor is present in most tissues and cells in the body. 1,25(OH) 2D has a wide range of biological actions, including inhibiting cellular proliferation and inducing terminal differentiation, inhibiting angiogenesis, stimulating insulin production, inhibiting renin production, and stimulating macrophage cathelicidin production (3, 12–14). In addition, 1,25(OH)2D stimulates its own destruction by enhancing the expression of the 25-hydroxyvitamin D-24-OHase(CYP24R)to metabolize 25(OH)D and 1,25(OH)2D into water-soluble inactive forms.
- Vitamin D is linked with colon, rectum, breast, ovarian, prostate, stomach, bladder, esophagus, kidney, lung, pancreas, and uterine cancers, as well as for non-Hodgkin lymphoma and multiple myeloma.Individuals with higher levels of serum 25(OH)D have lower incidence of cancers due to 1,25(OH)2D synthesis in the local organ epithelium.There is also an association of lower mortality rates from cancers for those residing at sunnier latitudes.Black individuals have much lower level of active vitamin D in the serum compared to Caucasians. This may explain the higher rates of colon, breast, prostate, and ovarian cancers in blacks.
- Plaque development involves chronic low-grade inflammatory process. Vitamin D possible reduces the inflammation in the blood vessels. Endothelial dysfuntion is an early step. Then LDL particles accumulate which attract circulating particles and form a plaque. The endothelia interact directly with vitamin D and can prevent negative changes. Low level of vitamin D (15 ng/mL or less) resulted in twice as many cases of cardiovascular incidents than those that had vitamin D levels 15 ng/mL or higher. The highest rate of cardiovascular disease was observed in those with hypertension and vitamin D deficiency
- In type 1 diabetes, beta cells in the pancreas die and stop producing insulin. It is not known what causes this but is thought to be due to an immune system malfunction. Vitamin D acts as an immunosuppressive agent reducing inflammation and production of harmful chemicals by the cells. Supplementation by vitamin D reduced the risk for diabetes by about 80% in children (N=9124) if they received at least the recommended dose of vitamin D in infancy compared with those receiving less. It was thought that vitamin D might somehow inhibit the autoimmune reaction targeted towards the cells of the pancreas.Supplementation of mother’s diet during pregnancy has also been linked to reduced incidence of type 1 diabetes in children. Children who are deficient in vitamin D have a 200% increased risk in developing type 1 diabetes.
